Sell What You Build

Price, photograph and list the pieces you build, for fairs, Marketplace or Etsy.

Many people who build end up selling a few pieces: first to friends, then at a local fair, then online. This guide covers the practical side: what to make, how to price it so your wood and time are covered, where to sell and how to present your work.
